Pingdom posted some Internet usage stats for 2009 and the numbers are impressive.

I have been using Pingdom for the past year to monitor websites, uptime, and overall problems and I can highly recommend it.

One group of stats that stood out was the usage across the globe:

Here are the actual numbers:
* 1,73 billion – Internet users worldwide (September 2009).
* 18% – Increase in Internet users since the previous year.
* 738,257,230 – Internet users in Asia.
* 418,029,796 – Internet users in Europe.
* 252,908,000 – Internet users in North America.
* 179,031,479 – Internet users in Latin America / Caribbean.
* 67,371,700 – Internet users in Africa.
* 57,425,046 – Internet users in the Middle East.
* 20,970,490 – Internet users in Oceania / Australia.

As these numbers continue to change it will be interesting to see how it affects the timeline of when and how startup companies enter into new markets.

    Interesting chart – Asia still has a lot of room for growth: http://bit.ly/7EORG7. The growing channel of mobile delivery should also boost the African numbers in the coming years as well.

    The super footwear made in Australia has swept this country by storm.

    However, along with great popularity, as Hollywood stars of all ages have been seen wearing these comfortable shoes, also comes super high prices.UGG classic short boot

    By a quick Internet search, you will be able to find extremely discounted shoes, slippers, and boots that are a fraction of their steep original sales price.

    Finding a pair of uggs at discount boots websites is not difficult, and a quick and easy search will save you a great deal of money.

    When searching for uggs on discount boots websites, first consider the website itself. If the site is offering shoes, slippers, or boots at too good of a price, be warned–they might be counterfeit!

    Most online stores are legitimate and will provide you with authentic products, but there are some that will prey on unsuspecting patrons.

    The best way to find a pair of inexpensive Australian made footwear is to search for after the season sales.

    These discounts will enable you to find quality footwear that are guaranteed to be authentic.

    Another way to find boots, shoes, and slippers for much less than in stores is to search internet auction sites.

    Again, be aware of anyone selling suspicious merchandise that may potentially be counterfeited.

    Since you can wear your shoes, boots, or slippers all season long, you will get the most use out of your new footwear.

    If you do decide to purchase footwear from internet stores or auctions, be completely aware of any return policies enforced by the store.

    If your new shoes do not fit or you are not satisfied with your purchase, knowing these policies will be able to assist you greatly in receiving a refund or return.

    You may need to check into a internet store or websites auction before you decide to purchase to ensure the seller is reputable.
